The eldest son of South Africaâs late Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini has been chosen as successor to the throne, amid a bitter family feud.
Prince Misizulu, 46, was named in the will of Zulu Queen Mantfombi Dlamini-Zulu â his mother â who died unexpectedly last week.
There were dramatic scenes as the will was read out, with some family members openly voicing their disapproval.
Prince Misizulu had to be led away from the meeting by armed security.
The reading took place at the KwaKhangelamankengane Royal Palace on Friday evening and was televised.
South Africaâs Sunday Times reports that the new leaderâs brother, Prince Thokozani, stood up to question the recognition of Prince Misizulu as heir. He was reportedly shouted down by other relatives.
